​Cleto Chiarli Dry Lambrusco ($18.99)
Modena, Italy

100% Lambrusco di Sorbara
Deep rosé colour, with clear fragrances of strawberry and brushwood. Its taste is fresh, pervasive, mineral, and at the same time velvety and surprisingly pleasant. Dynamic.

A light aperitif or to enjoy with poultry, ham, or roasted vegetables.


Forge Cellars "Classique" Dry Riesling ($19.99)
Seneca Lake, NY

Each of the 16 vineyards that we work with contribute to the blend that make up our Classique wines. These wines showcase the beauty of Seneca Lake: to be able to consolidate the various elements of each site into a perfectly balanced wine. Very few regions in the world provide in a natural way this perfect combination.

Throughout the years, we have characterized the vintages based on Mother Nature’s contributions and the shared disposition of wines in the cellar during their year of development and maturity.  In our 10th vintage sharing the voice of the land, we have affectionately referred to 2020 as “the vintage of the sun.”  While the world was shrouded in uncertainty  amidst  a rising pandemic, nature delivered sun drenched days that helped us maintain our focus and optimism, and nurtured the vines with unyielding promise.

If you've never had dry Riesling, this is the one you must try.
